Insert Caption: Imagine That

Filed under: Fandom », Contests », Insert Caption »

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that asks you to imagine yourself winning tons of wonderful movie swag while you attempt to turn those dreams into reality. Last week we asked you to knock back a few while we toasted to Todd Phillips' new comedy The Hangover as it stumbled its way into theaters this weekend. Congrats to our three winners! Here's hoping your captions are still funny now that we're sober.

1. "I wonder if this is how Jon and Kate got started?" -- Maddy L.

2. "I think we're supposed to walk into a bar now?" -- Zack Y.

3. "If anybody asks, I had cute babes literally hanging off of me." -- Jae Z.

This week we're skippin' on over to the new Eddie Murphy comedy Imagine That, which stars Murphy as a down-on-his-luck financial executive who suddenly finds success through his young daughter's imaginary world of friends. (Meanwhile, all my imaginary friends do is hog the remote and drink all my beer. Yeah, thanks imagination!) The folks behind our three favorite captions this week will each walk away with one Imagine That poster. Now go forth and imagine up some funny captions for the photo below ...

Insert Caption: The Hangover

Filed under: Fandom », Contests », Insert Caption »

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that'll totally give you a good buzz minus the annoying hangover. Last week we asked you to spit up some captions for a photo from the new Pixar movie, Up -- and not only did you come through with some fantastic (and hilarious) captions, but you made our narrowing down of the winners list a very hard chore. But we had to make the tough decisions, and so congrats to those of you who found the strength, courage and determination to make it into the much sought-after winner's circle, where the balloons are colorful and the ice cream is on the house.

1. "Look at the bright side -- how often do you get the opportunity to pee on three states ... at the same time??" -- Andrew T.

2. "And that was the day Carl decided to quit drinking." -- Kurt P.

3. "I think I just earned my 'Crapped My Pants' badge." -- Michael S.

This week we're moving away from the family-friendly stuff, and getting our buzz on with a film that's poised to become the breakout comedy of the summer. Though The Hangover -- which follows three groomsmen searching for their friend, the groom, after a hardcore bachelor party in Vegas -- isn't due in theaters until June 5, that doesn't mean we can't start partying now. That said, the folks behind our three favorite captions this week will stumble away with one The Hangover ladies' Forever Wedding Chapel tank top, one The Hangover Next Level men's Forever Wedding Chapel T-shirt, one The Hangover hat with bottle opener, one photo mug, one door hanger and one The Hangover CD soundtrack that includes hilarious performances from Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, plus "Candy Shop" by Dan Finnerty and The Dan Band. You know what comes next ...

Insert Caption: Sunshine Cleaning

Filed under: Fandom », Contests », Insert Caption »

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- where there's always a good amount of sunshine, yet the place is never clean. Go figure. Last week we asked you to be a sport (a champ? a pal? an awkward stranger?) and chuck out some captions for a photo from the hilarious comedy Role Models (now out on DVD), starring Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott. Okay, so we wouldn't exactly ask these winners to babysit our kids, but congratulations nonetheless.

1. "I knew trying mail-order steroids was risky, but they said the side effects are barely noticeable." -- Aaron N.

2. "All you said was to wear "a suit". If you meant fancy business suit, you should have said fancy business suit. " -- Nathan T.

3. "Seann desperately tried to explain to Paul the terrible mix-up at his mother's fertility clinic, which, unfortunately, also doubled as a bovine (cow) insemination center." -- Patrick F.

This week we're bouncing from a popular male duo to an equally-as-popular (and prettier) female duo in Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, who hit theaters this weekend with their new flick Sunshine Cleaning. In the film, the two gals decide to clean crime scenes for a living to earn some extra cash, and with that theme in mind one grand prize winner (ie: the dude or dudette with the best caption) will sweep away with one Sunshine Cleaning prize pack filled with Method cleaning products and one $250 gift certificate for Salon Wish. Someone's about to have a very clean pad, ya think? Sound off below neat freaks!
